[Blog] What’s a micro-stop, and how is it important to you?
/in Blog, Recent NewsMERLIN Tempus provide this level of comprehensive flexibility right out of the box. The ability of a system to infer a state based on occurring states and standards removes a level of operator dependence. The antiquated operator-centric data collection approach is inherently inaccurate because events are recorded after the fact and are usually very subjective. Realtime operator classifications of machine impacting states are faster, simpler, controlled and accurate because the machine initiates the state change based on an autonomous event and applied logic.
[Blog] From Failure to Success- A formula for Failing Forward
/in Blog, Recent NewsDigital Transformation is already in your industry vertical. To survive, you must adapt. For Industry 4.0 to be successful, users must be highly engaged and collaborative on continuous improvement initiatives using new technology. Either a manufacturer must engage technologically astute shop personnel such as operators or select a system that abstracts the complexity away from the operators, providing simple interactive tools that do not threaten nor burden the operators with non-productive work.
[Blog] You Need A Champion for A Successful Industry 4.0 Initiative
/in Articles, BlogAll the talk in manufacturing circles is around technology adoption. Whether it is AI, Machine Learning, Industry 4.0. IIoT, OEE, and other topics, it is all about applying technology to the shop floor to enhance the operations and reap the benefits, and profits. The most important aspect of any adoption plan, regardless of the technology you are pursuing, is to appoint a Champion. Thousands of POCs and projects have failed because of this one critical component, a dedicated person to take ownership of the technology.
[Blog] How to dramatically shorten your thingworx deployment
/in Articles, BlogTwo challenges a company would face is the ability to connect machines and the ability to present valuable collected information in an intelligent and responsive manner. Both challenges are fraught with issues. Companies are seeing delays in connecting machines due to shortages of competent technical personnel, unacceptable interruptions to production as critical assets are shut down for days or even weeks during this process. MEMEX’s MERLIN Tempus EE can rapidly connect your existing machines using not only your existing thingworx approach but even better with OPC, MTConnect and FOCAS protocols. Many machines can be connected and configured in 3 hours or less.
[Blog] Do you practice insanity?
/in Articles, BlogThe term insight means an understanding of relationships that sheds light on or helps solve a problem. The key is to understand relationships. If your scope within the company does not span more than the department, team or group you move in, then you are ill-equipped to understand the relationships surrounding a specific constraint, issue or task. We walk in preconceptions toward any issue and ignore or discount evidence outside of our comfort zone. That’s right, our comfort zone. Attempting to understand relationships means we need to step back into a different perspective to assess all aspects surrounding a constraint, or process, or issue, etc.
